For the past 3 years we have curated an outdoor sculpture exhibition at Mother-In-Law's Gallery Grounds in Germantown, NY (15 acres). The exhibitions MUSKEG 2025, ENDS WELL 2024, and PARLEY 2023, have received press from The New York Times, Art News, Hyperallergic and many more.

Now it’s your turn!

Dates: June 25 - Sep 27, 2026

Opening: Upstate Art Weekend: June 25-29

Theme: The curtilage of our homes has always been a space where we negotiate with Nature. We plant, prune, uproot, foster, weed, govern and curate this space. Nature, in turn, does everything possible to reclaim, reroot and rewild it, reminding us that for now we may manipulate nature but we are also governed by Nature. This exhibition will brings together a group of artists under the arch of this negotiated space and examines different methods of living with and parallel from nature.

“ In history as in nature, decay is the laboratory of life.” -Karl Marx
